Nat Wolff is the First Actor to Board The Stand

Still in development through Warner Bros. and CBS Films as a big screen feature, Stephen King’s The Stand adaptation appears to have landed its first bit of acting talent. The Hollywood Reporter today brings word that Nat Wolff, who stars in director Josh Boon’s upcoming The Fault in Our Stars, is having a part specially written for him.

Previously adapted as a television miniseries in 1994, “The Stand” tells the story of a full-scale apocalypse, driven by the accidental release of a biological weapon and the ensuing struggle of good versus evil carried out by the world’s final survivors.

Wolff also starred in Boone’s 2012 feature, Stuck in Love, which featured a cameo by King.
